XmlDocument.SelectNodes

[Guest]

Hello,

I am using .NET XmlDocument object to load the xml file.
Please look at the below given sample xml file for the refence.
using objXmlDoc.SelectNodes("//bookstore/book/first-name="Jane" and
last-name="Austen") where it should return me the list of (<book...>)Nodes
which has child node first-name="Jane" and last-name="Austen".

Basically I have to fetch list of books based on first AND last name of the
book author.

Thanks in advance

With Regards
Venkat

Try "//bookstore/book[first-name='Jane' and last-name='Austen']
